Important Art Deco Bronze Sculpture, By Jean Verschneider

About the Item

Rare and important large bronze with a green patina with brown nuances representing a young man pulling his chimpanzee by the arm so that it does not grab the two banana hands placed on the ground. A dynamic sculpture with these two opposing forces, accentuated by the diagonal composition. This is definitely one of my favorite sculptures ! Patina altered in certain places following repeated rubbing over nearly a century, otherwise in good general condition. Signed on the terrace "Jean Verschneider" and foundry stamp "Les Neveux de Jules Lehmann à Paris" on the edge. Old cast iron of excellent quality. France, circa 1925.
